General Ludomil Rayski Polish Air Force/RAF
 

Hi guys

Our friend Franek informed me about the involvement of General Rayski - commander of the Polish Air Force 1926-1939 - during the war following his arrival in the UK. Research reveals that he was permitted to fly with the RAF as a ferry pilot despite his status and age, receiving the DSO and AFC for his services.

Franek tells me that the General led a ferry flight of Blenheims to Singapore shortly before the island fell. Can anyone provide further details? Dates would be a bonus.

Cheers
Brian

On page 11 of this link is an article about the transfer of 84 and 211 squadrons to Singapore. Rayski is mentioned:
